We started trimming the tree, listening to Christmas carols while enjoying some wine and cheese. There were a group of 16 of us, each taking turns decorating the tree and enjoying each other's company over the course of the evening.
above: The tree we were trimming was quite large, we had to use a ladder to reach the top. When we finished, it looked so festive. My camera washed out the colors, so you'll have take my word for it.
above: This is my favorite photo, after the tree was trimmed. I paused to take this photo, which conveys the warmth of the room. The glow of the fireplace and the tiny lights from the Christmas tree provided a wonderful yuletide feeling.
above: after dinner, there was the most amazing chocolate cake. It was a life-changing dessert. The poinsettia flowers were frosting, but were not overly sweet at all. It is shaping up to be a wonderful Christmas season here in Palm Springs.
